[rules-users] Setting date during execution of rules.

Hi, Is there a way to set the date while executing the rules? The effective dates would be checked against this date instead of today's date. By default the effective dates would be checked with System date. But in some cases we would need to execute the rules in a 'back-dated' mode. Use case. Let's say in insurance industry there are commission calculation rules for an agent. On these rules the effective dates are appropriate (as per their needs). Now when an agent is promoted and his/her promotion date is couple of months back then we would want to calculate the commission once again with the date as 2 months back. The nearest I could see is TimeMachine, as this is being used during execution of rules. Although I could not find a way to set the TimeMachine in release 4.0.4. Has anyone tried something like this before? Regards, - Nimesh "The first 90% of a project takes 90% of the time, the last 10% takes the other 90% of the time" - Murphy's Law MASTEK LTD.
